It varies from person to person. But remember, international firms have lauded the growth of the Philippine economy in recent years. Don't you think it's more productive and possibly earn wealth in your part to take advantage of that trend, rather than dispute the figures? Ano ngayon kung tama ka wala namang laman ang tiyan mo?

I would say yes even though the country still has a long way to go. Like I said before if you look at Eastwood, Makati/Ayala, Macapagal, Global City, and those new areas being built in places like Laguna (Nu Valley), if the Philippines and the people want to be first class they can. Of course a glimpse of what's possible doesn't mean a guaranteed outcome and it's not going to happen overnight either.

That's true but isn't that partly because the country has lagged for so long (surpassed most countries in Asia) that relatively already matured countries already exhausted their growth opportunities?

Yes, but I believe it will only happen when the current generation of youth, who have grown up with more awareness thanks to the net and the prevalence of easy information, reaches leadership status and becomes the nation's leaders.
